I feel like I have got promoted fast enough. More than what is considered a "terminal level". I do say yes to high value growth opportunities so that is not the case. In fact I think because of how I act during 1 on 1s is helping

Yeah, and its browser usage on tough web apps/sites was also amazing. This is one of the cases where it is easy to tell a difference. It was figuring out very effectively how to find right elements whereas with previous LLMs I had to c

Worst that happens is they get silently offended, while being political to you at the same time and secretly undermine your performance reviews during calibration meetings without you even knowing or just not standing up for you that much d

I have had multiple managers and the thing is I wouldn't expect a truly honest answer from my manager ever, so to me it is also just all performative ritual that I have to go through and would rather avoid. So it does feel like waste o

But surely, it's a matter of curiousity? If you are curious you will naturally want to look deeper to understand what is going on. If you are not curious, then you wouldn't have done very well before either.

I honestly feel like my own learning has accelerated after using AI. Simply because now it's so easy to write the same thing in so many different languages, I can e.g. learn pros and cons of each language, which otherwise would have be

For me it's usually that I start with a single agent, but then I won't have anything to do while it is churning and I have other ideas/features that keep building up that I want to do, so I need to scale, and while I'm s

If AI replaced jobs one by one, these things should still have to exist, right? I'm not sure I follow the logic here. I would still see all of this existing and even more due to demand. The idea with automation would be that everything

So I would envision that, as AI starts to makes jobs obsolete, the people whose jobs were made obsolete, would get some sort of balanced percentage of what they were making. The more they were making the lower the percentage would be. But i

I personally do have a monthly automatic donation set in the bank, it's not a lot, but I wouldn't say it hasn't occurred to me. I do try to save money for specific things however, if I made more and I didn't save e.g. I

Productive in which ways? I wouldn't be producing value for the society right, because AI would be doing that. But I could be doing things for my physical/mental health, right? Other things could be just satisfying own curiosity,

I'm not from the US, but the reason to want to have jobs is disbelief that UBI could not happen then? If there was a way to make grounds to get to UBI, would it be fine?

I am probably different to most people, but I always have trouble understanding why people want to have jobs so much. The obvious and direct answer immediately of course is "to be able to pay the bills". But of course if we automa

I would actually say it is a luxury car where you have your personal driver and you are free to work on other tasks, and it gets you faster to the destination. Time to me is at least the most valuable thing.

The creative output and time to direct, to deliver due to the flow will also be different. And it really depends on the task. Is it a typical well defined bug, or is it simpel CRUD. Or does it require research, combining different sources o

I use both, enough to reach Codex highest personal sub limits and Claude is stronger to me specifically because of how the flow of building feels. So the PR for any random task would be irrelevant to me.

I am curious if agents like Claude Code would actually fall for that. Has anyone tested it? Also presumably if using Git even if it did, it wouldn't be such a huge deal?

That is a skill issue though. I have rules for my agents to write compositional, reusable, modular, small files and to avoid any sort of boilerplate etc. Being config driven, single source of truth, having other agents review that rules are

I would disagree. If you only do X, in fact I think you will miss a lot of things that could make you better. You can become better writer by reading other great writings, if you only write yourself, you will not have the full big picture o

Well, what I'm trying to say here is that coding is conveying logic, the way you'd evaluate it is how fit it is for its purpose, and if it's long term code, how well it will scale into future. Now writing is something totally

Are we talking about observational ability, creativity, accuracy of communication or grammar here? There's many more ways to evaluate a writer skill in terms of what they are doing vs what is coding. Coding can be creative, but in most
